Computer-based simulation offers an innovative way to combine theory with practice in geography, GIS/digital mapping, geology, oil and gas exploration, the marine and coastal sciences, environmental science, medicine, statistics and mathematics, as well as business applications. The course combines theory with the practical use of simulation software, R and Python languages for spatial simulation. OilSim software is used to illustrate the role of simulation in education and training for the oil and gas industry. Practical sessions with software tools and techniques, in a group learning environment, are used to apply theory and practice in a competitive problem-solving environment.

Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1st Attempt: Two coursework assessments (25%/75% weghting for each component) = 100%
Resit: Resubmission of failed coursework components, with mark for those components to be capped at CAS 9.
A number of additional duly completed in-class assignments will be provided.
Students will receive feedback on coursework using Turnitin. Feedback on all assignments will be within two weeks.
